1 Introduction Welcome to our second volume of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. I hope that you find it useful. You will find a range of walks suitable for exercise during and just after ‘lockdown’. They all start within 20 minutes’ drive from the Poppy and Pint. They are all specially selected or formulated walks with several things in common: the paths are quiet; the paths are varied and hold interest; all are on good, waymarked paths. Moreover, on all the walks it is possible to be ‘socially distant’ from others and on all walks is the right kind of ‘atmosphere’ in green spaces. What I have discovered is that walking in Nottinghamshire can be a restorative experience. Nottinghamshire villages are beautiful. Its landscape is many and varied. Apart from the big rivers and canals, there are wonderful streams and hills and rolling countryside – all a joy to behold. These walks take you to such places; lesser known, quiet and tranquil places – all on your very doorstep. This is the second volume of walks to complement Volume One, Edition 2. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put these publications together as the subsequent size of the file would be too big to e mail! Thanks so much for your support and interest. I hope that this publication encourages you to ‘get out there’ and I hope to see you on the trail one day. If not, maybe in The Poppy and Pint when this is all over to compare notes and share ideas. Happy Rambling from Lady Bay and be sure to stay in touch! Best wishes, Trevor Riddiough 2 Route-finding You should be able to follow the clues to get you around each route without a map. Useful maps are: Ordnance Survey: OS Landranger 129 Nottingham and Loughborough 1:50,000 or Explorer 260 Nottingham Vale of Belvoir 1:25,000 or Ordnance Survey OS Explorer 246 Loughborough 1:25,000 You can download these maps onto your mobile once you have bought them. ViewRanger is a free App and navigational aid. Once downloaded you may never get lost again as it shows your exact location on a clear base map! It uses GPS signals and so does not use your data allowance and is economical with your phone battery. If you would like a five-minute quick start guide, e mail me and we can arrange a phone call to get you going! Acknowledgements This project has been a collaboration between people. I am really grateful to the following people who have helped me enormously during this task: Front Cover: Louie McGavin – Year 5 Hambrook Primary School, Bristol – our Grandson.

The Great Central line closed in 1967 as part of the “Beeching” cuts and Wilwell was abandoned. In the late 1970s proposals to use it as a landfill site sparked a vocal campaign to protect the site due to its diverse wildflower populations. In 1981 the proposals were rejected, and the site was declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Cutting has a mix of habitats but is particularly noted for its rare species, rich grassland, along with areas of marsh. It is said that the flora of Wilwell is a glimpse of “Victorian” countryside, as many plants found on the site will have been relatively common in the late 19th and early 20th Century, but are no longer common locally. Notable species include green wing orchid and meadow saxifrage, southern marsh orchid, yellow wort, common centaury, cypress spurge (almost certainly brought in by the railway), cowslip, great burnet and meadowsweet. Wilwell is used by a range of local birds including great tits, blue tits, robins, blackbirds and sparrowhawks. Also, you can pretty much guarantee to hear a green woodpecker - as both meadows are covered in yellow meadow anthills, a popular food source for them. Further details are available from the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust: http://www.southnottswildlife.org.uk/content/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Wilwell- Factsheet.pdf Parking The reserve is on the B680 between Ruddington and Wilford. From West Bridgford, go past County Hall and take the B679 Wilford Lane. Just past the Co- op, turn left onto B680 Ruddington Lane. Then, turn onto the farm track on the right just after the Ring Road bridge. If using SatNav, enter NG2 7UT. There is limited parking space so please leave the gate clear, walk along the track, and the reserve entrance is on the left just past a wooded area. Clues Walk down the cutting towards its very end. Take the left-hand path just before the main path ends. Return on this path back to the entrance to the reserve. Distance: 2 kms Walking Time: 1 hour 7 Maps © www.thunderforest.com, Data © www.osm.org/copyright 8 9 Walk 45: Sutton Bonington, River Soar Circuit Description The River Soar makes a refreshing change from the River Trent. It is gently flowing, calm, with soft edges. The River Soar is rich in wildlife with thriving bird, fish and plant populations. Try this walk if you wish to take in the river with a beautiful aspect together with a short walk to and from Sutton Bonington. Originally, Sutton and Bonington were two settlements, probably originating in Anglo-Saxon times. Sutton was to the south of Bonington. The two villages gradually grew together along the edge of the flood plain of the River Soar to make one long, narrow village.

June was a big month in the calendar of the village, with the Jubilee celebrations and the visit of the Olympic Torch shortly afterwards.

Also inside, are pictures of the day the Olympic Torch came to Edwinstowe. People turned out in their thousands to welcome the Torch to “Robin Hood’s village”. It was one of those once in a lifetime days when people could say, “I was there.” Britain’s fickle weather didn’t smile kindly names, including Goffs, Benhams and Ococo had stalls on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations- and Scott from Treet House did a hog roast for the Angels. organising any outdoor event in this country is a Some of Edwinstowe’s top talent performed throughout matter of chance.

  • The Open Fields of Northamptonshire

    The Open Fields of Northamptonshire

    Chapter 3 Methods of reconstruction of open field plans Dating of ridge and furrow It has been assumed, so far, that all the sUIviving ridge and furrow is ofpre-enclosure date, and medieval in origin. The validity of this assumption must be considered; because it was much debated in the recent past, with little agreement being reached as to whether the ridges did or did not have a close relation to the open-field strips. Recent historians took it for granted that ridge and furrow was to be equated with medieval cultivation. Tate identified Sir John Lubbock, in 1892, as the first (post ' enclosure) author to equate ridge and furrow with former open-field husbandryl, and Maitland, in 1897, referred to 'the practice of ploughing the land into 'beds' or ridges, which has but recently fallen out of use. : . Anyone who has walked through English grass fields will know what they look like, for they triumph over time and change2• Trevelyan3 wrote in 1944: 'the outline ofmany ofthese strips ploughed by farmers of Saxon, mediaeval and Tudor-Stuart times can still be clearly seen. The 'ridge and furrow' of pasture fields that once were arable is one of the common features of the·English landscape today ... Often, though not always, the 'ridge' or 'land' ... reproduced a 'strip' that was ploughed and worked long ago by a peasant farmer.' This accurate statement was followed by the work of Beresford4, who, in 1948, again drew attention to ridge and furrow, linking ground observations with the evidence of maps and written records. Beresford was convinced of the pre-enclosure origins of much ridge and furrow, and made detailed comparisons of surviving examples with large scale open-field maps in eight parishes.

    Ridge-And-Furrow in Kent

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society RIDGE-AND-FURROW IN KENT PROFESSOR W. R. MEAD AND DR. R. J. P. KAIN Ridge-and-furrow is a landscape feature which continues to claim popular interest especially among local historians. It attracts most interest where it is most apparent. It is arguably no less significant where it is least evident since the reasons for its absence in one place may help to explain its presence elsewhere. The total distribution of this relict feature of the British landscape is unknown. Interest in it was generated in Britain in the immediate post-war years by M. W. Beresford1 and Eric Kerridge.2 In brief, Beresford is the protagonist of the school of thought which identifies ridge-and-furrow w i t h the open field system and equates the pattern of ridges with that of former strips and furlongs. Kerridge considers the feature to be essentially the product of ploughing for drainage purposes. Debate about the origins of ridge-and-furrow usually leads to the conclusion that there is no single explanation. The only constant in the equation is that it is the product of the plough; but, since the plough is a variable in its own right, it also enters the area of debate. The first extended map of ridge-and-furrow was initiated in the late 1940s.3 It covered the county of Buckinghamshire, a territory which spans a variety of geological formations and soil types. It was predictable that a major contrast would be evident between the occurrence of the feature on the chalk lands in the south and the clay lands of the north.
